    TV COMMERCE HOLDINGS PLC

    ("TV Commerce' or 'the Company")

    Proposed change of name to Gemstones of Africa Group plc

    The Board of TV Commerce Holdings Plc, (AIM:TVC), today proposes that the name of the Company should be changed from TV Commerce
Holdings Plc to Gemstones of Africa Group plc. Under the Companies Act, a change of name requires the passing of a special resolution of
Shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting "EGM")

    Background to and reasons for a change of name

    The Board believe that the name change is necessary to reflect the investing strategy of the Company. The Company's strategy is to
invest in, participate in joint ventures with or acquire one or more companies or businesses in, the natural resource sector in Africa,
although it will also consider other geographical areas if the Board deem an opportunity to be appropriate.

    The Directors believe that the natural resource sector is capable of delivering attractive levels of investment return and that there
are a number of companies in this sector that would benefit from greater access to capital, quoted profile and support.

    Your Board believes that the proposed change of name better reflects the change in the Company's strategy and is in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders and that the change should be made as soon as possible.
